Jerusha R Naidoo has completed her PhD and a Member of the Research Centre for Plant Growth and Development at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in the field of Biological Sciences (Cell Biology). Her PhD focuses on the micromorphology of secretory structures, pharmacognosy and development of an in vitro propagation protocol of a South African medicinal plant. This research involves the bioassay-guided isolation and identification of therapeutic phytocompounds and optimization of a micropropagation protocol for mass production of medicinal plant material. Her research expertise includes electron microscopy, phytochemistry, ethnobotany, ethnopharmacology, plant biotechnology and nanotechnology Jerusha R Naidoo has completed her PhD and a Member of the Research Centre for Plant Growth and Development at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in the field of Biological Sciences (Cell Biology).
